@YukoAsho: It's my understanding that Disney is legally obligated to buy out those shares as part of a prior agreement. But regardless you're right, their plan is to absorb Hulu and make all of it a part of Disney+. As for what they stand to gain? I think it's more opportunies to squander a massive investment. I just can't help being pessimistic about anything they do.
Sad and gross. I feel the same way about Wolverine coming back. There are no stakes anymore. They are desperate and it's the only move they can think of.
What they did with the two of them, particularly Jamie, was pathetic. He went through all that character development only to have it all thrown away. Cersei started off evil and became more so but Jamie had a redemption arc. Such a waste.
Price elasticity. They're finding the upper limit they can set while minimizing loss of subs. The customers have all the control here but it's a process that takes time and gamers tend to be pretty compulsive. If people close their wallets for long enough Sony will back off. But I don't know if enough people will hold out long enough to make an impact. I mean pre orders are still a thing and there's no question that has led to unfinished and broken releases.
